His Facebook account also listed his resume, which included he studied “money laundering” at the “Skool of Hard Knoxs”‚ as well as “Skill‚ Speed‚ Endurance‚ Saving Money and Your Mom” at Howard Community College.

After finding him on Tuesday, social media users pointed out how his Facebook page showed him living a lifestyle he would not have been able to afford on the salary he received.

The photos he posted on his profile saw him having spa days, driving expensive luxury cars and shopping for name brand clothing.

The majority of South Africans made fun of him for showing off his luxury lifestyle when he is not supposed to earn that much. But, some social media users took pitty on him.

Briefly.co.za learned Facebook user, Sabelo Ublangwe, commented on one of his photos with: “Shame he became greedy and stupid and that was his downfall. One or two heists should be enough to help you start a proper business so that you don't depend on heists to survive. Aw madoda but at least he had tasted real life.”

It is believed the money is connected to the Boksburg heist, however it has not yet been confirmed.

EMPD searched a house in the township just after midnight after a reliable source tipped them off. There they found a large sum of money buried in the home of an elderly couple, who claimed they were keeping it for a SBV security guard.
